Chamber Corner
fi-
fty Lillian Porter
Executive secretary
Buddy Kreitz Jr. of San
Antonio got busy and
wrote us a really nice
letter:
“Hello, Hondo, Texas,
Great Chamber of
Commerce. Well, I see
that the Air force is still
using the Old Air Base
yet. For women to solo, I
also see they are using a
T-41. Also 1 see that the
old Air Base has a weather
station. Have you ever
been in the weather
station. Is it true that
your real fine citv has a
stereo and AM radio
station? I sure do like
your fine little city. Can
you tell me, is your real
fine Chamber of
Commerce open on Satur-
days? Can you tell me
where you have your
chamber office, so 1 can
come by and see all of
your real nice places and
also you all. How do you
like the 55 miles speed
limit. How do you like
daylight savings time?
Also do you still have an
airplane plant that still
works on planes. Thank
you again. Have a real
nice day. Have a real nice
big, Big Day.”

City receives $14,834 check
on tax rebate
Hondo leads the county with the
August sales tax rebate check of
$14,834.48.
Other Medina County cities
receiving checks are Devine -*
$12,993.68; Lytle - $4,574.24;
Castroville •• $4,271.18, and Natalia
- $1,069.09.
Comptroller Bob Bullock said
Wednesday that an analysis shows
that his procedure of rebating city
sales taxes monthly rather than
quarterly has turned out to be a real
help to Texas city governments.
Since the monthly rebates began
in April, 1975, the Comptroller's
Office has turned back to the cities
19 percent of their allocation 60
days sooner and 41 percent 30 days
sooner than they would have gotten
it under a quarterly system,
Bullock said.
“This means these cities can put
their money to work faster, earning
interest or providing services.” the
Comptroller said. “The city sales
tax money belongs to the
cities in the first place and ,never
should have been held in Austin
until the end of fi quarter.”
Bulkxk mailed checks totaling
$56 6 million Wednesday to the 855
cities and towns collecting the
one-cent tax as their August rebate.
He noted that city sales tax
rebates have totaled $230 million so
far this year, nearly 18 percent
ahead of the $195 million rebated
during the same period in 1975.

Oh Sunday, September
19, Rev. Tom Price and
members of the congrega-
tion from New Fountain
Methodist Church were
here to conduct worship
services. Their services
are always special to us
and we appreciate them
very much.
Monday morning,
women from the, First
Baptist Church came for
the Bible Study. On Tues-
day, September 21, Father
Rudolph and Sister Marie
came to administer the
Rites of Holy Commun-
ion. Approximately
thirty-six residents re-
ceived Communion along
with some of -the
employees. They sang
some familiar English
hymns and a favorite
Spanish hymn, 'Bendito.'
This past week, Sept. 13
and 14, Evelyn Grell from
Brown's Nursing Home,
and 1 attended a two-day
workshop at the San
Antonio State Hospital
The sessions were design-
ed to better help us work
with the resident who has
in the past suffered from
psychiatric illness, as well
as the geriatric patient
who has Chronic Organic
Brain Syndrome or other
physical conditions which
would cause disorienta-
tion. We were given the
basics for Reality Orienta-
tion and also some point-
ers on carrying out a
successful program. There
was also a class on
Behavior Modification
and Re-Motivation
Therapy. Many of these
have overlapping skills
involved and all the pro-
grams were designed to
better orient the patient
with his environment and
at the same time create a
desire to become actively
involved in his life once
again.
Perhaps one of the most
interesting lectures was
on Music Therapy. Music
has been called tne univer-
sal language and when it
comes to reaching
extremely withdrawn
patients, it has proved to
be an invaluable tool.
We thought it was a
very good workshop and
certainly worth the early
hour drive to attend.
Fifty years of service
will be marked by the
South Texas Chamber of
Commerce when it meets
in San Antonio September
30 and October 1 with a
program that includes
Watergate Special Prose-
cutor Leon Jaworski and
Texas House Speaker Bill
Clayton.
The meeting will be at
the St. Anthony Hotel,
site of the chamber’s 1926
organizational meeting.
The first president of the
regional chamber was
Ralph Morrison, long-time
owner of the hotel.
Tom Burrus, current
president of the chamber,
said other speakers in-
clude Dan Eddy of the
Salvation Army, George
Carmack of the San Anto-
nio Express and News,
Reagan Brown of the
Governor’s office and
Dick Burdick of Thermon
Manufacturing Company.
The meeting will be
opened by the New Braun-
fels High School Polka
Band.
Historical newscasts ~
from 1926, 1936, 1946,
1956 and 1966 will be
presented throughout the
meeting. Newscasters will
be Henry Guerra of
WOAI San Antonio, Herb
Skoog of KGNB-KNBT
New Braunfels and Bob
Woodman of KVIC-
KWMC Victoria.
During the meeting the
chamber will be reorga-
nized into five councils.
They are Tourism, Agri-
culture, Industry, Govern-
ment and the Environ-
ment. Planning meetings
of each council will be held
during the conference.
